RAZOR BLADE TILEQINCORPORA'TED nazon BLADE msclmn Application filed November 5, 1928. SerialNo. 317,239. 7

My invention relates to improvements in razor blade discard and it more especially consists of the features pointed out in the annexed claims.

I The purpose of my invention is to provide a self-contained razor blade discard formed in the shape of a rectangular piece of porcelain having a rearwardly beveling foot; that has a downwardly inclined opening extending from the front face to the rear face; that on account of the rearwardlyl extending beveled foot the blades that are inserted through the 1 opening will always be delivered past the thickness of the plastering in which the razor. 35 blade discard is fastened; and that lends itself to installation with ordinary conven-- tional tiling.

With these and other ends in view I illustrate in the accompanying drawings} such in Q stances of adaptation as will disclose the broad underlying principles of my invention, without limiting myself to the specific details shown thereon and described herein.

' Figure 1 is aperspective view showing the front ofthe discard, Fig. 2 is a rear elevation inperspective. T

Fig. 3 is an elevation-in section showing the discard secured in a wall.

Fig. 4 is a rear elevation; 1 In practically carrying my invention into use I may employ whatever alternatives of construction that the exigencies of varying conditions may demand without departing from the broad spirit of my invention,

The discard consists substantially of a I molded piece of porcelain 4 which is ofthe same thickness as an ordinary tile.

a rearward downwardly extending upper face v bevel 6 which terminates in the rear lip 9 i i above the opening 7. The upper edge 15 and the lower edge 14 as well as the side edges abut against the adjacent, tiles. The lower 1 ing 7 l 1 a v Itvvill be noted from Fig. 3 that the open-..

It has a front opening 5 with a lower edge lip 8 and are formed to assist in holding the fixturein the plaster 1 of a wall adjacent the wall opening5 slopes downward but does not continue at the same angleall the way to the foot 12 because when partly through "thethickness of the fixturea change into the bevel 11 is 'mader-Asalready stated the fixture issecured in-anysuitable wall alongside ofand flush with adjacently placed tiles 3. y

It Will be readily seen that the opening through the fixture in; a downward direction assists in causing the discarded razor-blades to effectually slide through the wall without becoming lodged on -any portion of plaster fthat may project at-that point. This fixture 7 makes it possible toprevent. the throwing of waste razorfblades into paper baskets, etc, Whereth'ey ar'eliable tocause injury. to caretakers. By placing the razor blades through the opening into the open space of the inner wall'they there become oxidized and grad ually disintegrate. i

7 What I claimis 1. A; tile adapted'to receive discarded razor blades comprising a beveled rearwardly extending foot, beveled faces extending across andbelo'w' an opening formed through the tiling, and an inclined bevel'leading from the opening ontothe rearwardly extending foot.

'2. A tileadapted toreceive discarded razor blades having a downwardly extending open-,

ing through its body, a rearwardly extending foot, and a beveled upper-face ofthe foot which joins the lower bevelediface of the; a

tiling. I

3. A bathroom fixture'adapted to surround.

an opening extending downwardly toward the rear of the fixture, a beveled extension. off

the lower surface of theopening projecting; rearward :from therear faceof the fixture,f

and a rearwardly projecting. foot from the lower edge.

4. bathroom unitaryfixture "adapted tinuation of the opening. In test imeny whei' lower surface of the fixture ecf I aflix my signature. LEON' smc h
